As cultured as a Simon Elliot square pass

Crew Closes on Noonan

August 6, 2008

Goal.com is reporting that Pat Noonan is coming to the Crew. The Boston Globe mentions that an announcement is expected later today. The trade sends a first-round draft pick and allocation money to New England. The Revs also swap allocation places with Columbus while the Crew get Noonan.

Not a bad trade overall. We lose a first round draft pick, but our record in the draft as of late is spotty at best. I am not sure how much allocation money the Crew have left, but they will be keeping at least one allocation. The Crew finally get a striker. He may not strike fear into the opposition, but he does have 42 goals over the course of his career and can also play on the wings.
